Channel 2’s Ryan Young spoke to DeKalb’s public safety director Dr. Cedric Alexander regarding the case. Alexander says he plans to fly to Missouri Saturday and Channel 2 Action News will be there with him.

Alexander says he plans on sitting with the police chief and community leaders as well to have a dialogue with them.

“We are going to have an opportunity to sit down and talk about some of the missteps that currently has been made,” Alexander said.

Officials named Darren Wilson, a six-year veteran, as the officer who shot 18-year-old unarmed Michael Brown Friday. Police say Brown was a suspect in a convenience store robbery.

“I’m going to Ferguson because I think it’s time now. We couldn’t just look at Selma; we had to look at the civil rights of America. We need an urban policy reconstruction with our urban America,” Rev. Jesse Jackson said.

Since the shooting, there’s been civil unrest and Jessie Jackson believes there needs to be a greater national conversation about urban policing.

“It’s painful because you see police calling black people animals. You see the militia in the streets as if this was Iraq or some place,” Jackson said.

The Missouri shooting has also sparked outrage from state and local NAACP leaders in Georgia.

“Ferguson could be any city,” Dr. DL White, president of the NAACP, said.

State and local NAACP leaders held a conference Friday and say the shooting and street clashes between protestors and police in riot gear, are harsh reminders of the cultural, economic and racial fault lines that still exist in many cities.
